A few months ago I posted about a devise called a remote assistant which I was told to use any time that I got that weird dizzy feeling. No one seemed to understand what I was talking about. Anyway, every couple of months I have a bad day with 5-6 "events" and I was supposed to carry this devise around and press a button on it and hold it against the PM so that it would keep a record of heart tracings for 3 minutes around the time of the event. Well last week I had one of those days. The first 2 events were while I was driving at 100km/hr on the highway and I was not sure if it happened - just a weird feeling in the head. Then later that day I was at home, I felt prefainty so I grabbed the devise and pressed the button- apparently I turn white while this is going on. After this I was told to go to the PM clinic. The interogation showed that the remote assist had been activated. The technicians, cardiologist and myself then stared at the tracing. All it showed was, at that time, the PM was activated and I don't normally use it much. Cardiologist now says I most likely had a vagal episode and he has turned the rate drop response on. I hope this helps as I thought this was the problem.
I was wondering if when I next get my readout will it show how many times this was activated.
These PMs really are amazing machines aren't they? I am still carrying around the remote assist devise in case something else happens.
There seems to be a lot of us with VVS on this site lately.
Sorry this is long
